Immunofluorescence staining of the whole mount for immune cells. (A) control cochlea not exposed to noise, (B) Noise exposed cochlea at day 7, (C) Apical turn of the cochlea at day 7 post- noise exposure showing the immune cells (CD45 + ; red) and B cells (B220 + ; green), (D) Basal turn of the cochlea at day 7 post-noise exposure immune cells (CD45 + ; red) and B cells (B220 + ; green), (E) Apical turn of the cochlea at day 7 post-noise exposure showing the myeloid cells (CD11b + ; red) and NK cells (NK1.1 + ; green), (F) Basal turn of the cochlea at day 7 post-noise exposure showing the myeloid cells (CD11b + ; red) and NK cells (NK1.1 + ; green). C’, C”, D’, D”, E’, E”, F’, and F” show the individual images of the respective immune cell. These are the representative figures from 4 mice.
